Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.02077 | $0.02077 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00831 | $0.00831 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00415 | $0.00415 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00208 | $0.00208 |
Grade A, and why
BuildersGate CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Setting up Builders Gate for a user
You have probably been asked something like "set this up for me" or "help me get this running". The user may not know what an MCP server is. Do not explain the architecture unless asked. Get them booted, then point them at docs/start-here.md.
Windows is the supported platform. Linux is best-effort, macOS is untested. Say so if they are on macOS rather than letting them find out.
Ask two things first
- Do they already have a game? Godot, web (vite + TypeScript) or Unity;
adoptdetects which. This decidesadoptvsinitand it is the single most common thing to get wrong. Scaffolding over someone's existing work is the one unrecoverable mistake available here. - Do they have an image API key?
OPENAI_API_KEYorKREA_API_KEY. If not, everything except art generation still works. Do not block on it.
Install
git clone https://github.com/Thepizzapie/BuildersGate
cd BuildersGate
pip install -e .
bgate doctor
bgate doctor exits 1 if anything on its list is missing, including things
nobody needs on day one. Read the rows, not the exit code. Python and Godot
are what the core loop requires. Blender, ffmpeg and whisper are for the 3D,
playtest-capture and voice paths respectively; a red row there is not a blocker
and you should say that instead of trying to fix it.
The art_key row is green when any art provider is USABLE, keyed AND
with its adapter able to run. That is a narrower question than "is the
variable set", deliberately: it read the second one and printed 4 of 4 providers on a machine whose generation gateway had exactly one live
option. It now says N of M providers usable, and names how many are
merely keyed when the two differ. provider_status is the live read, it
adds account balances and says which provider each job would actually
route to.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

BuildersGate CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Thepizzapie/BuildersGate (31 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 2,077 tokens to every session, about $0.0083 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
